To prepare these delicious donuts, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients: fresh eggs, sugar, milk, melted butter, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar, whisking well with a whisk or spatula until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly frothy. Then, add the warm milk and melted butter, continuing to mix to incorporate the ingredients.
Once you have obtained a fluid mixture, it's time to add the yeast. Gently mix to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed. After the yeast is well incorporated, start gradually adding the flour, being careful to mix continuously. The amount of flour you will add depends on how wet the mixture is. Add flour until the dough becomes slightly sticky but not so much that it sticks to your fingers.
Once you have obtained a smooth and elastic dough, cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in volume. After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on a work surface and turn the dough out. Roll it out gently with a rolling pin until it reaches a thickness of about 1-2 cm. Use a glass or a special donut cutter to cut circles from the dough. In the center of each circle, make a hole with a finger or a smaller shape to achieve the classic donut shape.
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. When it is hot enough, add the donuts, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook until they turn golden, flipping them on both sides to brown evenly. Once the donuts are ready, remove them with a spatula and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
To serve them, you can opt for a delicious combination of strawberry jam and cream, which will add a pleasant contrast of flavors. Alternatively, you can dust them with vanilla sugar for a simpler yet equally tasty flavor. The donuts can be enjoyed warm, and each bite will be an explosion of flavor and texture. This recipe will turn any meal into an unforgettable feast!
